Key Technologies of LTE

Benefit:
Physical spectrum efficiency Improvement ¾ DL: 3~4×R6 HSDPA average
¾ UL: 2~3×R6 HSUPA average
(OFDMA/SC-FDMA/MIMO/Time and space scheduler/Interference
¾ DL: 141Mbps peak (2*2 MIMO)
mitigation) ¾ UL: 50Mbps peak (1*2MIMO)

Benefit:
¾ Lower data plan latency
Efficient usage of PHY layer ¾ Lower idle->active latency
(Always on /short TTI/Efficient MAC Mapping/E-MBMS) ¾ Higher APP throughput
¾ E-MBMS comparable to DVB-H

Benefit:
Networking ¾ Lower CAPEX/OPEX
(Scalable bandwidth/All-IP ¾ Explore spectrum (including re-
/Flat architecture/SON) farming) efficiently
¾ Enable more business models

CDG Believes LTE will Co-exist with CDMA

z “One technology fits all” approach to meeting today’s telecommunications

requirements will not hold true in the next generation of mobile broadband
solutions. Rather, operators will match particular applications and
services to the technologies that best suit them.

z 3G CDMA will remain the leading and most economical platform to deliver
core mobile broadband services, and operators will use OFDM-based
systems such as LTE etc. to complement those services with additional
features and broadband capacity.

 Two Interworking Options
z Non-optimized inter-working between SAE and HRPD
‡ Longer service interruption time with little impact on HRPD network
‡ Suitable for Best effort service in the initial stage
z Optimized interworking between EPS and 1xEV-DO
‡ Minimize the total service interruption time experienced at the UE
